Why switch
Jira is powerful — and that's exactly the problem: configuring workflows, maintaining schemes, booking training, higher prices every year. IssuePilot covers the everyday work of small teams without anyone needing "Jira admin" as a job title.

An honest take
When Jira is the better choice.
IssuePilot is built for small teams. In these cases Jira remains the more suitable tool — and switching isn't worth it.
More than ~50 users
You're a larger, growing organisation with many teams and fine-grained permissions.
The Atlassian ecosystem is a must
You need deep integration with Confluence, Bitbucket & co. as a core part of your workflow.
ITSM & SLA processes
You run service management with defined service levels and formal approvals.
SSO/SCIM requirements
Single sign-on and automated user provisioning are a compliance requirement for you.
Migration
How you make the move.
A migration doesn't have to happen all at once — most teams start with a pilot project and bring the rest across afterwards.
Import from Jira, Asana, Trello & Linear
A guided wizard imports your items with a preview. You correct the mapping for statuses, people and labels before importing, and duplicate detection prevents duplicate entries.
Or the classic way via CSV
Alternatively, bring in issues and clients via CSV import — for example from a Jira export, with each step traceable.
Personal support
For larger migrations we help you directly on request — no ticket queue.
Common questions
